Initiative overview
On 4 April 2024, the PEPR Cloud programme, co-piloted by the CEA and Inria, will be officially launched. The programme, which has a budget of €51 million over 7 years, focuses on sovereignty, security and frugality.
The first stage of the programme was to map the research community, which made it possible to draw up a complete inventory of the players involved in research dedicated to the Cloud, in order to link them to the subjects defined as strategic.
At the same time, seven priority projects were identified for this PEPR. Five of these concern the software layers needed to deploy the distributed clouds of tomorrow, and two focus on the cross-functional aspects of infrastructure security and energy management, as mentioned above.
The PEPR roadmap also includes a call for projects focusing on two areas, the first on algorithmic work to optimise certain performance and reliability criteria for the software stacks developed, and the second on the impact of different application domains on the actual design of these software stacks. Finally, the programme includes a test bed in the form of a distributed experimental infrastructure.
